This picture is worth a thousand words. Words, however, which cannot be spoken as the pain is simply too much! Never again should our Medical tadpoles, nymphs and very delicate young professionals be subjected to this humiliating experience 1/3
- We deeply mourn the passing of our dear colleague, Dr. Amaro Rwot Lea Ssemwanga. A dedicated doctor, a young wife, and a hopeful mother, her loss is heartbreaking. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband, Dr. Ssemwanga, and all who loved her. Dr. Amaro, rest in peace 🙏
